處於社會轉型期的中國刑法立法需要及時轉變法益觀念,增強新的調控手段,賦予刑法新的機能,積極參與社會治理。活躍的立法與傳統刑法觀之間拉開了一定距離,從而面臨許多新的難題,但並不會帶來刑法過度干預的系統風險;犯罪化與刑法謙抑性沒有矛盾,不能認為處罰範圍越小越好。從總體思路上看,未來應當建立能動、理性、多元的立法機制。從具體方法上看,立法必須保持積極干預社會生活的姿態,改變目前的集中立法模式,但分散立法未必要采用刑法典、單行刑法和附屬刑法三足鼎立的方式,而應建構以刑法典為核心,以輕犯罪法為輔助,刑罰和保安處分措施並行的成文刑法體系,形成治安管理處罰法、輕犯罪法、刑法的遞進式無縫銜接制裁機制,嚴密法網但處罰輕緩。

Chinese criminal law legislation in this transitional period needs to transform the concept of legally protected interests in a timely fashion,strengthen new means of regulation,endow criminal law with new functions,and take an active part in social governance.There is a certain distance between active legislation and the traditional ideas of criminal law.Hence such legislation faces many new difficulties,though it would not bring with it the systemic risk of excessive interference by criminal law.Criminalization does not conflict with criminal law's concept of modest restraint,so we cannot conclude that the smaller the scope of punishment,the better.In terms of overall approach,we should establish a dynamic,rational and diversified legislative mechanism for the future.In terms of specific methods,legislation must maintain an approach of active intervention in the life of society,changing the current centralized legislative model.However,decentralized legislation should not necessarily adopt the tripartite model involving the criminal code,individual criminal laws and auxiliary criminal laws,but should construct a written criminal law system centered on the criminal code and supplemented by the law on minor offenses,in parallel with criminal penalties and public security measures.This will produce a mechanism for the seamless incremental convergence of public security administrative punishment law,minor offenses law,and criminal law.The nets of justice are fine-meshed but the penalties are light.
